Hendo and Firmino are crucial to the way we play. Hendo knits everything together, sets the tempo, and gets on everyones case if they arent playing well.Originally posted by Tribute View PostSalah and Ox have given the ball away more than Origi in that half. Trent and Robbo look a shadow of their former selves too. Keita and Mane have at least tried to keep pressing forward and creating something...
Bobby drops deep and allows space in behind for Salah and Mane.
As soon as we deviate from this, it seems our quality drops quite a bit.
Wijnaldums industry also missing. The worry is that we have to basically play ten out of eleven players every game.Modifying post.

Though its not Origi's fault, he hasnt brought any spark to the play. Salah and Mane dont have anything to prove. Origi does, so he's really got to take advantage of the games where he starts. So far he has misplaced a few passes in promising positions, or played supper safe backwards passes.
Not exactly challenging for man of the match. Its a big chance for the likes of him, Keita and Ox, and so far so bang average. We need some of the guys on the bench to bring something special when they get starts.Modifying post.

I know we’re being critical to the new Premier League champions here, but you’re right, for next season we need a bit more strength in depth and ways of playing that are suited to the squad we have rather than the first eleven and that’s it. Tough to be harsh on a team that’s been brilliant.. just worried we might need a plan b to break teams down more next season. Maybe a Thiago type signing or similar will give us an extra dynamic...

I'd stick elliott on at half time. He can at least take players on.
I'd have to say this is the strangest season I've ever known in football. For me we have been at our least fluid in attack under klopp, yet we've won so many ****ing games.
I haven't watched too many games where I actually really enjoyed the game itself. We don't knock it around with ease and carve out great chances. With our front 3 we have players that can be average all game, run into people and bounce off their shins and then just score out of nothing.
It's a great thing to have and we've pissed the league by playing like this. Leicester away was the best we have played all season for pure control and brilliance. That was brilliant, yet we haven't done similar too often which is surprising since we've walked the league. Bobby hasn't even scored at home for a team on a 23 match winning run. Its bizarre. It's just getting my head around a different way of winning. If we win it every year I'll get used to it.
Not a rant! Merely my observation.Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back. Oscar Wilde

Obviously not wanting to be overly critical, as you say we are the ****ing champs and are miles ahead of the rest this season. But we have to keep moving and looking forward and we do rely heavily on maybe 13-14 players in the squad. We need some of the others to bring a bit more when called.
Still 45 mins to put it right.Modifying post.
